3:04 that moment you picture battering the cleaning lady to death with the Hoover

[@marilynmurray3041]

Staircase wall has proven a very poor place to hang anything.

[@M.Campbell]

Cleaning ladies have a long tradition of being dangerous to art.

[@jofewstonings7216]

Or hoover your own stairs..

[@loopwithers]

A truly hideous encounter. Fortunately, the cleaner escaped to be later rescued by humans

[@ande100]

Marvelous pieces. Such a shame about the cleaning lady. Lesson: get a really considerate cleaner aware of their surrounding.

[@nemo6686]

Or do your own cleaning...

A story that I have encountered more than once is of the cleaners who unplug laboratory equipment at night to plug in their Hoovers and don't plug it back in afterwards: not that they would know how to reset it.

[@juffurey]

or how about not hanging it where there's a lot of foot traffic. interesting that's the lesson you chose

Especially "Modern Art" that follows Marcel Duchamp's definition of being "Anything that you can get away with exhibiting."
